So you are saying Hull KR are a average team? - With their line-up today bearing in mind Webster was missing, i think thats stupid to say

No. Not at all. But I am saying that they are not Leeds or Saints and we are at HOME. We should be winning our home games against teams of similar quality to us.

Good for you. However the fact of the matter is that kr are indeed an average side. As, these days, are we.

We looked very average today.

...but some of us are looking at the stars...

It was one of those games where you could pick so many faults.



We looked clueless in attack. Newton made about 80% of his passes forward and looked lazy.



Menzies made things look extremely easy, but wasn't backed up by any of his team mates when he found the holes.



Scruton looked like he was asking himself what the hell he'd put himself in for, when he laid on the floor with 10 seconds to go.



Platt continues to be poor.



We spent approx 80% of the game camped in the KR half yet only scored 13 points, that's how clueless we were in attack.



Jeffries looked like he'd spat the dummy out because of us going for Greg Bird, he was poor.



We need to buck up or we're in for a hammering against the giants.



As for the KR fans, I'd never heard as much whining with the abuse given to the ref. I think they need to go through the rule book again before spouting off.

You just typed nearly everything I was thinking but add Koppy and Cook to the list of players that looked good. Now Solomona and Langley are out, probably for a few weeks if they have dislocated shoulders, then these boys and some of the other younger players in the squad get a great chance to play and show what they can do.



Very rusty and poor execution but equal amounts of this from both teams. It is encouraging just how long we spent in the Hull KR half and how much possession we had but equally as discouraging that we let them score the vital points they did with the few opportunities they had.



I think we need to stand a bit deeper when attacking too as far too many times we are playing the ball flat to players that are standing still and there is no un-obvious dummy runners running at it to confuse defenders and create gaps. Several times Morrison and Menzies did some clever running out wide only for everyone else to be either level with or in front of them so nobody to pass to.

Same old meaningless pap from MacBanana on Radio Leeds afterwards.......





HEY PETER HOOD GET SOME BALLS AND SACK MACBANANA!

One post and already using the McBanana nickname? Hello again Punisher.

None of which are in our back line.

RFL I think. We had 2 lower league friendlies then a friendly against KR lined up. Reasonable preseason warmup I thought.



Everyone was rusty today. Our defensive systems looked good - although not much pressure put on them. The two tries were individual errors. Not much changed there then.



Attacking wise - Hull KR were very solid, we made rookie errors ie no-one at the ptb, passing the ball onto Scrutons head. Hopefully (please!) match practice will help with this.



Referee (and his assistants) made a lot of mistakes. Some were in our favour and some against and some were totally just wrong.
